ADRIAN ROSE LEONARD
FOUNDER/OWNER
Adrian’s most recent directing work can be seen in the documentary Louder Than You Think, which had its world premiere at SXSW Film Festival in March 2023. As well as directing, Adrian works as a professional puppeteer, puppet builder, and on-set puppet technician (aka wrangler), and her experience spans the various styles of puppetry from marionettes, to table-top and shadow, to hand & rod (Muppet style); giving Adrian an advantage when it comes to directing the logistical complexities that can arise when filming puppets. Through Little Wonder Productions, Adrian strives to immerse audiences in the tactile, handcrafted world of puppetry as well as creating cinematic experiences that are both visually stunning and emotionally engaging.
Little Wonder Productions works with creatives from all over the nation.
These are the teams involved in each Little Wonder endeavor.
